Quartz Composer Cocoa Interface Builder

"Error opening socket on specified port."

This is not technically a Kineme related problem but I'm a bit stuck where to post for help.

Learning how to use QC View / QC Patch Controller in Interface Builder / Xcode ... ran some tests and managed to get a dummy Quartz Composition to publish it's Inputs to I could then bind GUI controls... All good there.

Current sticking point: Am trying to load a composition which contains Hexler's qcOSC Plug-in into either the QC Patch Controller or QC View and I keep getting the same error message "Error opening socket on specified port. Please choose a different port." and I get the same error again when trying to run a simulation.

Removing the qcOSC patch from the composition allows it to embed & the simulation to be run.

Just for the record, I tried to open the composition in QuickTime and got word for word the same error message. Is this error related to the so-called 'safe mode' I read about on this site (re: your SafeMIDI thing)? Or am I barking up the wrong tree.

Is there anyway to get OSC in & out of a composition embedded into a Cocoa application?

Many thanks for reading,

Dan
